I thought the IRS would eat me alive, and any leftovers would be gobbled up by the State of Colorado...

Alicia was recommended by my CPA when she saw what a mess I had gotten into with the IRS and the State of Colorado. She immediately assured me that we could deal with this, explained the options and set to work on my situation. I was impressed by her professionalism and her clear understanding of the... laws, options and best strategy, and how quickly I started seeing results. If you have tax problems, this is the lawyer you need!

Non-Profit Assistance

We are a non-profit skilled nursing facility considering a joint venture with a for-profit entity. Alicia Buckingham was the second lawyer we contacted because the issue proved to be very complex; too much so for the first attorney. Alicia explained the nuances of the situation in terms I could under...stand and gave us a number of options to choose from. She also gave us the pros and cons of each option. I really enjoyed working with her and was very impressed with her kmowledge and her ability to meet our needs. I would give her my highest recommendation!

Estate planning

I recently moved to colorado and needed a complete review and restatement of my revocable trust and other supporting documents ie healthcare power of attorney,etc. After my initial experience with another lawyer proved to be quite unsatisfactory, my finical advisor recommended Alicia. We worked to...gether this fall and I found Alicia to be thoughtful and very knowledgeable. I especially appreciated her patience and willingness to explain different options and ways that we might accomplish what I wanted to achieve through the various documents. The entire process proved to be quite seamless and very efficient. I trust Alicia completely and highly recommend her to anyone needing legal help with estate planning.

Estate and Will preparation

Alicia and her partner John prepared wills and gave my wife and I patient advice and guidance regarding our estate and financial planning, We asked a lot of questions, and they gave good answers, and we felt they were truly concerned with our outcome. They quoted us a price for the service, spent a l...ot of time with us and we never felt rushed or hurried so they could make more money. Alicia is a very caring person and worked to meet a short time deadline we had. Best of all, they both like dogs, as we do. Felt like friends.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Alicia Buckingham brings intelligence, legal competence, business skills, and integrity to the table. During her time as a professor and tax clinic attorney at the University of Denver, she earned the respect of her many students and served as a fierce advocate for low income taxpayers with IRS controversy needs. As a practicing attorney in tax, business planning and estate planning, she provides thorough and efficient services. I would not hesitate in recommending Alicia's services to any other client or attorney."
